This is a great little video about how development can bias evolution, using domestication syndrome as an example.

Below is just a taster. For the full (5-minutes) video see evolutionevolving.org

Microbiome transfer from native to invasive species may increase invasion risk

Interesting paper by Martignoni & Kolodny doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

"The ... microbiome can be considered a non-genetic mode of adaptation, which can strongly influence an organism’s ability to cope with its environment"
